London -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- The British government asked the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee to redact small parts of the panel 's report that criticized the CIA 's harsh interrogation program , a representative for Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday .

The comment came in response to a question from CNN about whether the UK government had seen the report on the CIA 's enhanced interrogation program before it was released to the public this week , and whether London had asked for redactions or changes .

`` The U.S. gave our agencies limited sight of some sections of the executive summary before its publication , '' Cameron 's representative said about the report on the CIA program , which critics call torture . `` Our agencies highlighted a small number of issues in the proposed text where changes would be necessary to protect UK national security and intelligence operations .

`` None of these redactions related to allegations of UK involvement in detainee mistreatment . ''
